“Lefas, sometimes you shouldn't be too extreme in your actions. No matter what you've done in the past, from now on, you need to accumulate virtue for the baby, understand?” Yan Wushuang tilted her small face, speaking in a lecturing tone.
“Alright, for you and the baby, I will try...”
Rafas appeared to be in a great mood, smiling before quickly changing the subject. “But... sweetheart, shouldn't you focus your thoughts on your husband?”
Yan Wushuang looked at his smile in confusion, her eyes darting around as she noticed a sly glint in his gaze...
“What exactly are you trying to say?” Yan Wushuang still didn't understand his meaning.
Rafas's smile shifted from strange to wicked as he leaned closer to Yan Wushuang's ear, whispering softly...
Her ears filled with his suggestive murmurs, and her cheeks flushed all the way to her neck, all because of his recent words...
“Lefas, how could you ask the doctor such a question? It's really...” Yan Wushuang smacked his chest. He actually asked the doctor when it would be okay to have intercourse during pregnancy.
How could he even say something like that? It made Yan Wushuang feel so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide. How would she ever face the doctor again?
“Hahaha... sweetheart, you don't need to be like this. Everyone has gone through that stage. Just take it easy; what's the big deal? We are a loving couple; others can only envy us!” Rafas completely ignored her complaints and continued to hold her close.
Yan Wushuang seemed unappreciative of his attitude, pouting and refusing to look at him...
The weather was getting colder as the year drew to a close. Yan Wushuang wrapped herself in a warm coat, gently stroking her slightly protruding belly.
The baby was already four months old. By next summer, the two little ones would be born, and she was eagerly looking forward to that day...
“Madam, Miss Yi is here!” A maid knocked on the door, and behind her appeared Yezi.
Yan Wushuang turned to look at her. Yezi was about a month behind her in pregnancy. Today she had just returned from the hospital with Sharl; she wondered what the results were.
“Don't come over; stay where you are,” Ieyako called out immediately as she saw Yezi preparing to approach.
Yan Wushuang stood by the window with a smile on her face, letting her walk over. She placed her hand on her abdomen and asked with concern, "How did it go today? Is everything alright?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine! Everything is normal!" Yezi walked in front of her, surprised that they could both be pregnant; perhaps this was what Heaven referred to as fate?
"What about Sharl? Did you come alone?" Seeing that she seemed to be by herself, it struck her as odd.
Yezi helped her sit down on the sofa, looking out at the cold weather outside. She held her hand and said, "Sharl and the Master have returned. The Master asked me to come up and keep you company. After they finish their discussion, he will come to be with you."
"By the way, what have they been so busy with lately? Why does it seem so mysterious?" Yan Wushuang had noticed that his phone calls had increased recently, and they always lasted a long time. She had no idea what they were discussing.
At first, she thought he might have a woman outside, but then Rafas scolded her for not trusting him and showed her the call records. The contacts were all wealthy businessmen and political figures, including someone she was very familiar with: Prince Morianna Windsor!
"Wushuang, don't wear yourself out like this. Stay out of men's affairs; knowing too much will only add to your worries. I know they've been busy with matters in England lately; even ga is back in action there!" Yezi whispered in her ear.
These words were considered confidential; she had pried them from Faisal, so Yezi only understood a little bit.
Yan Wushuang nodded. It seemed they were all busy as the year-end approached, while they women enjoyed some leisure time.
Looking at Yezi's Ultrasound report, the two expectant mothers were completely immersed in the joy of soon becoming mothers...
In the study, Rafas and Faisal sipped red wine while discussing the tricky issues in England.
"What did Morina say? Is he really planning to take down his brother?" After taking another sip of wine, the rich aroma made him feel particularly refreshed.
Faisal leaned back on the sofa, summarizing recent information to provide Rafas with an answer: "I heard him say on the phone that since that last incident, Andrei's position in the Royal Family has become unstable. If we can complete this project as planned, he won't need to take action himself; Andrei will soon lose his claim to the throne!"
"That kid is too flashy. Remember to remind him next time not to involve us in any issues related to him or our Monica Group. If it happens again, I will definitely cut ties with him!" Rafas was most furious about being played by him last time and having to sacrifice Sharl for his sake.
Faisal nodded, understanding his frustration. He realized that compared to before, he had completely changed; perhaps love and family now ranked first in his eyes, while money and fame were no longer as important as his family.
Morina represented the British Government in communication with Monica. Almost all the work here was done by him alone, and Andrei could not stand seeing him in such a glorious position. In secret, he tried time and again to set him up, but he never had the ability to succeed!
After enduring one trap after another, Morina finally couldn't hold back anymore; this time he was determined to give Andrei a heavy blow!
After sending off the Sharl Couple, Rafas happily embraced her as they went upstairs. The weather outside was cold, and she could only walk into the garden when it was exceptionally sunny, which truly made Yan Wushuang feel stifled.
"Baby, are you cold? Is the child behaving today?" Rafas held her as they returned to the warm room, carefully laying her down on the bed and gently stroking her rounded belly.
"Silly, how big is the child now? How could it misbehave in my belly?" Yan Wushuang chuckled lightly, watching him become increasingly foolish as he prepared to be a father.
Rafas bent down and pressed his ear against Yan Wushuang's abdomen, wanting to hear if there was any movement inside.
However, his exaggerated actions made Yan Wushuang smile wryly; it was only a four-month pregnancy—how could there be any reaction? He was really foolish!
"Alright, have you had enough fun? Who acts like you do? I woke up early today and now I feel a bit sleepy..." Yan Wushuang pushed him away and pulled up the blanket to lie down.
Rafas looked at her rounded belly and couldn't help but smile secretly. In six months, his two little treasures would be born. He would suddenly have two children; he couldn't express how happy he felt. Since last month's check-up results, he had been secretly delighted.
"Okay, you rest. I'll stay by your side and watch you sleep." After covering her with the blanket, Rafas propped his head up and guarded her side.
In Japan...
Misa's belly was getting bigger, but she still couldn't find any trace of passion or excitement on Long Yi's face.
On their wedding night, he kept calling out Yan Wushuang's name. This point had deeply etched itself in Misa's heart; she would find it hard to forget the humiliation of that night for the rest of her life.
Yamamoto Ryuichi slept soundly until dawn and didn't remember what he had done the previous night. His attitude towards Misa remained unchanged, but more importantly, it now carried an added sense of responsibility!
When Misa opened her eyes, she would see the painting that Wushuang had gifted them. However, that painting deeply pained Long Yi's heart. Every time he saw it, he would think of Wushuang. Even though he tried hard to forget her, seeing that painting brought her image back to his mind.
"Madam, did you sleep well last night?" Misa woke up from a drowsy sleep.
The maid attended to her, having been by her side since she was little. She felt deeply happy for Misa when she married Yamamoto Ryuichi.
"I'm fine. Where is Long Yi?" Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she hurriedly looked for his figure.
"Sir left early this morning. It's close to the end of the year, and with the New Year approaching, he will naturally be busier!" The maid brought her clothes, and since it was cold, she helped her put on a thick coat.
Misa nodded. After getting ready, she got out of bed and had a sip of hot tea. Habitually, she touched her slightly protruding belly; the baby was growing day by day. If she could hold on for a few more months, her baby would be born.
She believed that once the baby was born, Long Yi would surely change his attitude towards both of them. After all, it was his own child; how could he not cherish them?
Gently stroking her belly, she hoped that day would come soon...
As time passed day by day, perhaps because of the anticipation in her heart, time seemed to fly by quickly. Soon it was Christmas Eve!
Rafas left the company early. The atmosphere in the castle was different from previous years; with Yan Wushuang as the mistress and two little masters about to be born, Rafas specifically ordered the butler to decorate the castle warmly this year. The Christmas tree, being a symbolic item, had to be prepared well to ensure that the madam would fall in love with this year's Christmas Eve at first sight!
Having been in this world for less than a year, Yan Wushuang had undergone tremendous changes. Looking at herself now, there was hardly any trace of the Great Yan Kingdom's Princess Wushuang left. Her cheeks were blooming with smiles, and her prominent belly made her look like a young matron.
Standing in front of the floor-length mirror, Yan Wushuang gazed at her transformation; even she couldn't believe how quickly she had blended into this world.
